Professional Contracts for Interior Designers

From large-scale contract development projects to small residential renovations, SBID recommends contract solutions for interior design businesses to address the differing levels of project complexity across the sectors.

A Short Contract for appointing standard supplier engagements is provided to every Accredited and Associate Designer registered with the SBID, alongside exclusive access to preferential rates with the leading supplier of commercial procurement contracts across the design and construction industries.

The contracts are used by most professions in property and construction industries, adding additional comfort for the client and all appointed trades on an interior design project.

A pioneering suite of contracts serve to protect SBID Designers and their clients from conflict, whilst providing the flexibility for amendments throughout project procurement.
